[Verse 1]
It's like
K-E-M-P
But the names are frivolous
The Girlies half naked
And the knights
Ain't chivalrous
And most nights they
Trying
But the guy ain't
Into it
He leave'm cold and frozen
Like a naked inuit
Sinuous
The lines never brake straight
Triangulate the flows
Put the typos on mixtapes
We rejects
Not talking tapes outta BX
Just talking
Ain't nobody tryna hit play
Or reset
The RX
Cooking like Pyrex
Sailing on some Bad Brains
Eyepatches like pirates
The iris
No I never see bloodshots
And I'll murder any MC
Check my ties for blood spots
[Hook]
Yeah
My insecurities
They
Leave me ill at ease
And I'm begging please
Just one more chance
Relax, try tah find the peace
[Verse 2]
Snap Judgements
They all see us in frames
And if we ever brake out
They tell us we'll never change
So keep smoking
Drain the liquor bottle holding
The Hope in hoping
Something new might open
But no
God never seems to give us brakes
So why should we keep trying
And trying
Until we break
It's fate
Crappy hands
But I ain't gambling
Just ambling
Wishing steps brought me more than some ambien
Knees on the ground scrambling
Sufficient words but ain't no understandin
Man
Plans foiled
Ain't no crowns for 3 and out
And no crowds sticking around
If you can't seem close it out
Relief
I hear it's part of my blood
But Daddy never seems to call or
Ask me whats good?
So what's the point?
Guess I'm just unarticulate
Gotta blaze my own path
Through the thin and thick of it
And I'm gone
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
Verse 3
Can I kick it
Like A tribe called quest does?
Can I understand my roots
Like my name was questlove
Moms keeps praying
And Dad keeps saving
All the little bits and pieces
Of whatever I'm relaying
And I see where they're
At and ask myself
Can I have that
Can I get mad handclaps
A daughter on a mission
And a son who write bad raps?
Be more than a bad act
Modest home with a wife
Who looks past the fact
That I've been doing some bad math
Probably later than sooner
Fawning over bars
Like norman fans
Over sooners
Probably be over sooner
But I'm enjoying the ride
Wish it was less turbulent
But you gotta take it in stride
Right?
So I'll just be keeping them private
Rather be knee deep in life
Then
On auto pilot
Kemp
